The FAMOUS Brown Sugar Candy Bacon
Use your favorite brand of bacon. I usually try to do a thicker cut. But really any bacon is good when you do it this way.
Lay them out on a cookie sheet lined with aluminum foil. Sometimes I will double line it (both ways). You could use a wire rack to set them on top of, which I have done before, but there is something about doing it this way that makes them ... better...
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
Take a handful of brown sugar and sprinkle it over the top of the bacon (DO NOT PAT IT IN! I don't know why, but it just isn't as good if you touch the brown sugar after it is sprinkled on.
BE GENEROUS!
Pop it in the oven for 15 min. Drain off excess grease into a foil lined bowl. ( I have my sweet husband help me with this part, and he doesn't mind in the slightest since this is his most favorite thing in THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD)
Place back in the oven for 3 to 6 more min, watching carefully. It will look like it is not crisp, but once you let it rest it will be like hard bacony candy. DO NOT PUT IT ONTO A PAPER TOWEL!!! You will be eating paper towel if you do this. Immediately after you remove from the oven place directly onto a glass plate to cool.
Get a piece fast, because it will be gone in minutes!
Don't be afraid if your oven smokes a little, open a window... it's well worth it!
